Indulge in delicious layers of tortilla, beef, and cheese in this super easy taco bake. Change it up and make it your way by adding any taco toppings you want! For me, I prefer lots and lots of cheese!

Brown ground beef. Make sure that you break it into small pieces as it browns. To keep it somewhat healthier, drain access grease. ( I pour beef right into a small strainer and run it under hot water to rinse it of grease as well)

Step Two:

Add your taco seasoning of choice and prepare according to directions on the packet.

Step Three:

Once taco meat is prepared, add 3/4 cup cheese sauce to the pan. Stir until all meat is coated with the cheese.

Step Four:

Heat refried beans in a sauce pan over medium heat until warmed through.

Step Five:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a round, 8 inch baking pan (or if you’re me, pie pan) place a tortilla in the bottom of the pan. (Depending on your pan you may want to apply some nonstick cooking spray or butter to the bottom of the pan)

Step Six:

Begin layering. Add about 1/3 of ground beef and cheese mixture on top of the first tortilla. (if you are choosing to add other fillings such as tomato, onion, etc. add 1/3 of them as well). Top with 1/3 of your shredded cheese.

Step Seven:

Cover first layer with a second tortilla. Spread 1/2 of the refried beans onto the tortilla. Again top with 1/3 beef and cheese mixture and 1/3 shredded cheese. Repeat process for the third and final layer.

Step Eight:

Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until heated through. (You’ll want the cheese to be melted!)
